Found this property while looking for places to stay near Alto Pass. Was a great cabin! Tucked far enough away from people but close to the wineries! The host Brian was over the top accommodating! We will definitely stay at his properties again!

Beautiful weekend getaway!!
We absolutely loved the Big Sky cabin and are already planning our next trip back. It was such a relaxing weekend. We loved the property and the fire pit was really fun for our chill friend’s weekend. The home itself was clean the hot tub was really relaxing. Brian was very responsive and easy to talk to, making the entire trip stress free. If you are looking for a calm weekend getaway with friends or family do yourself a favor and book the Big Sky Cabin!

Perfect Getaway
The family traveled down for some hiking and the wine trail experience. The house was perfect for us. When we were hanging at the house so many things to do with TV, pool table, darts, arcade games. The kitchen had all the essentials to cook dinner and breakfast when we didn't feel like leaving. So close to the wine trail which we did one day and a quick 2-hour trip to Garden of the Gods. We intend on returning next fall as there are many more places to hike and wineries to visit.

An okay stay
Everything was good except the kitchen. The cabinets need much attention, no kitchen towels, no tin foil and storage bags, dishwaher did not get dishes clean. Hot tub worked nicely!! Bath towels and bedding were very nice. Suggest supplying board games and card games. Pool table was great!! a few more board games and card games.

Amazing stay!
My fiance (now husband) and I loved our weekend at this cabin, and we will be back! We had planned on bringing our kids, but it ended up being just us. The property has some amazing views, and we loved sitting out on the deck with our morning coffee and stargazing in the evening with some wine, listening to the frogs, crickets, and whippoorwills (note: bring insect repellent!) It was also awesome having a pool table and arcade game in the family room. We got married in the front yard early Sunday morning, just us, with only a minister and photographer, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and serene setting. Many thanks to Brian for a wonderful weekend at this gorgeous place!

Annual Girls’ Weekend
This is our groups 3rd time heading to the wine trails and staying at one of Brian’s properties. Everything was wonderful. The cabin is secluded on its own property and right on the wine trail to several wineries. It was actually bigger than what we expected. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of amenities. Brian is always so responsive and accommodating! Looking forward to our next stay.

Spring Break
My family and I stayed for 4 days over spring break. We loved that it was a short drive to many hiking spots like Bald Knob or Pomona Bridge. The house was stocked with snacks and juice boxes upon arrival which my kids loved! We all enjoyed the pool table, darts and board games! Nice quiet country location with a beautiful view of the forest in the mornings. Very peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely recommend to friends!

The home was a perfect location for two families to have a stay-cation in a large home on a beautiful lot! We made all of our own meals, loved the extra large dining table and all the seating! Two living room spaces (one perfect for the kiddos) while the adults are just down the hall. We loved our stay and Brian was an awesome host staying in contact for any questions or requests! We would definitely return!! :-)

Above our Expectations!
We had 4 families from 3 states and chose this awesome property for a fantastic time together. We hiked nearby at Little Grand Canyon, visited wineries along the Shawnee Wine Trail and finished each day with a sunset then bonfire. There was a small neighborhood store with many supplies and a little longer drive to a Kroger for big trips. This property had plant of room for us to spread out. We prepared many meals including a Thanksgiving feast in the large kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Big Sky and would absolutely recommend.
